Secrets Unleashed
The Fey King eyed Ginny a long moment.
“It seems we’ve much to talk about. Have a seat.” He gestured to the bunk across from him.
Ginny looked at the door, considering bolting.
“I wouldn’t bother.” He calmly stroked the back of the small thing on his shoulder, peering at her.
She recognized it as the creature she’d caught a fortnight ago. When she’d first come here, to ready the chamber for Belle.
Ginny numbly took her seat. Sensing she was in grave danger. She noticed the fearful way the little creature peered at her then retreated behind the man’s neck every time she looked at him.
“I didn’t know what it was.” She defended. “I thought he was a rodent.”
“And he told you he was not?” The Fey King quirked a dark brow.
Ginny’s head fell. “He did.”
“And?”
“It scared me half to death! I thought it was surely possessed to talk as it did.”
“And how did you come by his sister?”
“I caught her trying to wedge the lid off the jar.”
